Ingredients
For the cake:
2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup milk
1/2 cup vegetable oil
2 large eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 cup boiling water
For the frosting:

2/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
3 cups powdered sugar
1/3 cup milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour two 9-inch round cake pans. 2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Mix well. 3. Add the milk, vegetable oil, eggs, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium speed for 2 minutes. 4. Stir in the boiling water. The batter will be thin, but this is normal. 5. Pour the batter evenly into the prepared cake pans. 6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. 7. Cool the cakes in the pans for 10 minutes before removing them to wire racks to cool completely. 8. While the cakes are cooling, prepare the frosting. 9. In a large mixing bowl, beat the butter until creamy. 10. Add the cocoa powder and mix until well combined. 11. Add the powdered sugar, milk, and vanilla extract. Beat on low speed until the sugar is incorporated, then increase the speed to high and beat for 2-3 minutes, or until the frosting is light and fluffy. 12. Once the cakes are completely cool, place one layer on a serving plate or cake stand. 13. Spread a layer of frosting on top of the first cake layer. 14. Place the second cake layer on top of the frosting. 15. Frost the top and sides of the cake with the remaining frosting. 16. Decorate as desired. 17. Serve and enjoy!

Tips and Tricks
If you don't have two 9-inch cake pans, you can use 8-inch or 10-inch pans instead. Just be sure to adjust the baking time accordingly. To make the cake even more chocolatey, add 1/2 cup of chocolate chips to the batter before baking. If you don't have unsweetened cocoa powder on hand, you can substitute it with Dutch-processed cocoa powder. For a more decadent frosting, you can add 1/2 cup of melted chocolate to the recipe. If you have any leftover frosting, you can store it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week. Just be sure to bring it to room temperature before using it again.
Conclusion
This moist chocolate cake recipe is perfect for any occasion - birthdays, holidays, or even just a weekend treat. It's simple to make and tastes absolutely amazing. With this recipe in your repertoire, you'll never need to buy a store-bought cake again.
